Austin man charged with indecent exposure

Forty-one-year-old Austin, Texas resident Peter Phelan was charged with indecent exposure on Saturday, October 15. Police caught him masturbating on the second floor of Austin’s Public Library, which is located at 800 Guadalupe Street.

Members of the Austin Police Department responded to calls of concern from Austin Public Library patrons, who said there was a “suspicious person” lurking in the building. When police arrived, they caught Phelan with a newspaper spread over his lap. He had a computer screen in front of him showing a male and a female having sexual intercourse. Phelan was arrested and is now behind bars with a $3,500 bond attached to him as a result of the action.
